ABT (TV station)

Download coordinates as: ABT is the call sign of a television station operated by the publicly-owned Australian Broadcasting Corporation, with a transmission area covering southern Tasmania.

ABT began broadcasting on VHF channel 2 on 4 June 1960, with studios in inner-city Hobart and transmitter at Mount Wellington.

The broken terrain and scattered population of Tasmania has necessitated a relatively large number of translator stations, even within the Hobart urban area e.g. Taroona.

[3] ABC News Tasmania is presented by Guy Stayner on weeknights and Alexandra Alvaro on weekends.

The weeknight bulletins also incorporate national finance segment presented by Alan Kohler in Melbourne.
